that's why Chelsea is taking it all... they've got the winning formula, a team where there are no stars and everybody is a star... teamwork > a collection of any stars on a team. ;)
Go CHELSEAAAA!!!! |
You can't say they have no stars considering how much money they spent on acquiring new players :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: |

w00t LIVERPOOOOL!!!!!
haha can't believe we got through leverkusen...granted they had 5 regulars out of their side...but beating them 3-1 at their stadium is a notable achivement.
Whens the draw for the quarters???
I'm not a big chelsea fan but they really did play well against Barca...though Mourinho is a ing prick. |

You thought that AC Milan vs Man U was exciting??!?! HOW? Nothing happened :p
I highly doubt Real Madrid vs Juve would be more boring than last night's game! ;) |
I was always a great fan of AC Milan, since I was a little kid :) I just love the way they play with each other and in my previous post I stated why. Simply because IMO they are 1 of the best teams when it comes to ball possession. Other than that, my fav defender & midfielder plays there, Paulo Maldini & Clearance Seedorf :)
BTW anybody seen the Juve vs Real match? It started to get brutal towards the end. I think that match was all about commercialism, Real didn't even put a fight until Solari came on :rolleyes: I'm glad Juve is through. |

| I couldn't believe Michael Owen...their literally top scorer right now came on in extra time almost...:conf: :conf: :wtf: :wtf: that game was pretty ty...it seems like Real's instructions were to hold the ball in the middle and just go through with a 0-0 or something...nobody was attacking :whip: |

well, yea, they've got stars on the team, but compared to the stars of one Real Madrid for example, these guys are nowhere near close ;) and Mourinho has proven that big names don't mean titles and championships :D |

Really, Real played NOT TO LOSE instead of trying to win -
which USUALLY backfires....
Owen not starting is understandable, but substituting
Zidane - STILL the best MF imo - THAT early?!?!?!:conf:
THAT was a mistake.... he didnt play roughly the
last 40 mins of match action!!!! CRUCIAL mistake.
But i'm glad he (luxemburgo) made it - i hate Real:D |

This is my prediction at the beginning of this round.
Bayern Munich v Arsenal
-Arse is showing lots of kinks in its armour, only drawing against Sheffield Utd on Sat. (though the reserve team was played) And also out of contention for the title in Premiership. Bayern Munich is at top of the table in Bundesliga right now, but tied with Schalke04. However, they are coming off a crushing 5-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund and Dutch striker Makaay is on fire, posing problem for Arse who might not have defender Sol Campbell back in time.
Bayern wins 2-1 (3-2 on aggregate)
Liverpool v Bayer Leverkusen
Leverkusen is still in the hunt for Bundesliga title being 6 pts off the top. Liverpool suffers from many injuries and having trouble finding form. But when their players start to get back, Liverpool may be pushing for the CL title.
1-1 draw (aggregate 2-3)
PSV v Monaco
Possibly one of the more entertaining matchups this round.
Monaco is stil playing well, after surviving the group stage. The duo of Chevanton and Saviola provides serious firepower not to be overlooked easily. PSV is in good form, being top of Eresdivisie right now. They do not have star players, but their group works hard, led by Von Bommel the captain and striker Vennegoor of Hesselink. Monaco's luck may just run out this time.
PSV wins 2-1 (4-2 aggregate)
Real Madrid v Juventus
Real is still having trouble from time to time, with gap in defence that will not be filled, now that Woodgate is out for the season. Juve has one of the stingiest defence that is hard to break down. It is hard to call this one.
Juve wins 1-0 (2-1 aggregate)
Barcelona v Chelsea
Barca is in flying form,but so is Chelsea. Although Chelsea lost to Newcastle in FA cup tie, it should not effect them much as their team seems unstoppable in Premiership. But the flowing attack of Barca should prove challenging to Chelsea.
Chelsea 2-2 Barca (Chelsea wins 3-2 aggregate)
FC Porto v Inter Milan
Inter is still unbeaten in Serie A but mostly draws games. Porto plays annoying game. Inter is full of quality players that should be able to destroy Porto.
Inter 2-0 Porto (Inter wins 3-1 aggregate)
Man Utd v AC Milan
Another good match to watch as ManU and AC Milan are both in fine form.
ManU 1-1 AC Milan (AC Milan wins 3-2 aggregate)
Werder Bremen v Lyon
Should be an interesting game with high score, if their group phase games are any indication.
2-2 draw (Lyon wins 4-3 aggregate)
***
6 out of 7 correct guesses, I do say not too bad. :D
Now, goooo Inter! Destroy those diving Portuguese wankers. (Why is this match not played until 15th?) |
